Hi all ... just a brief update from me about my next episode. Thanks, Patrick. x
Washington State: The Hart Tribe
Queer Crime
02/13/21 • 29 min
Jennifer and Sarah Hart were loving wives who were completely devoted to each other. They had adopted six beautiful children who they were extremely proud of and who they loved deeply ... and the world knew it. While Sarah didn’t have much of a social media presence, Jennifer more than made up for it. Her social media posts showed their wholesome family life and her photos showed their children with beaming smiles. They affectionately became known in their various circles as The Hart Tribe.
Was the Hart Tribe’s life as wonderful as it appeared? Or was it Jennifer’s way of hiding the true reality and mundanity of everyday life?

In the 1980s, in amongst the upsetting and tragic deaths of gay men who were being struck down with a mystery and seemingly incurable illness, another tragedy was unfolding in London for the gay community. A tragedy that was partly caused by the mystery illness which was killing gay men.

On 12 January 2000, the way the British military treated serving LGBT+ people changed forever. Prior to that date, anyone who was LGBT+ was banned from serving in the Royal Air Force, the Royal Navy and the British Army.
Before the ban was lifted, serving members of the forces lived in fear of being outed. They lived in fear of being themselves. They kept their head down and got on with their jobs.
However, not all LGBT+ people who were serving at the time were kind souls who were secretly supportive of their other LGBT+ colleagues. One person in the Royal Navy was the complete opposite.
This is his story.

The gay panic defence or trans panic defence is absolutely abhorrent. It is a legal strategy that asks a court to consider that a victim’s sexual orientation or gender identity is to blame for a defendant’s violent reaction ... and this violent reaction can include murder.

Orange County: Danny Lockin
Queer Crime

Everyone knows the 1969 romantic comedy musical called ‘Hello Dolly!’ which features uber-gay icon Barbra Streisand. This joyous, high-camp movie with its catchy tunes and long-lasting legacy of frivolity and fun ... also has a horrible queer crime story attached to it which has been almost entirely forgotten.
This is the story of Danny Lockin.

Sydney: Bondi Beach Murders
Queer Crime
06/12/21 • 29 min
You might think that a string of murders of gay men in Sydney in the 70’s, 80’s and 90’s, which may have had almost 90 victims, would have received international news coverage. You might think that this would warrant international condemnation ... but it didn’t. In fact, so little attention was paid to these crimes that the police barely even investigated them.

*** The language in this episode may be triggering for some listeners. The derogatory homophobic and transphobic words that appeared in my research are the words that I have used as I feel these highlight the bigoted views of people at the time of this crime. No offence is intended by using these words. ***

At the start of 2020, the world was facing something truly unique, horrific, frightening and unexpected. The news coverage was relentless and almost entirely focussed on Covid-19. There was no time or interest in covering anything else. Crimes that would have ordinarily made it onto national or international news channels just didn’t get a look in.
The appetite for healthcare information was unprecedented as people tried to allay their fears. It meant that almost everyone missed this grisly crime which has been overlooked throughout the world.
This is the story of Diogo Goncalves.

In September 1958, a tour guide from Mexico called Fernando Rios was visiting New Orleans where he was leading a group of tourists around the city. At the end of a long day, he got dressed up for a night out. At the same time, three young men were planning their night out too.
This is Fernando’s story.
